Disability activist Hannah Diviney trolled for calling out ableist slur in Beyonce lyrics

An Australian disability advocate has revealed she has been subject to relentless trolling after calling out Beyoncé for using an ableist slur in a newly released song.

It is not the first time Hannah Diviney has called out a star for their use of the word “sp*z” in a song.

Last month, Diviney tweeted Lizzo telling her to “do better” and she did, by changing the lyrics in her new song GRRRLS and apologizing.

Then last week, Beyonce released the track heated on her renaissance album, prompting Diviney to speak up again. The singer also changed the lyrics in her song following backlash.

After calling out the 28-time Grammy winner, Diviney said her Twitter mentions – tweets from users tagging her – became a “dumpster fire” and she wished other people would have as been as open to learning as Beyonce and Lizzo.

“I really respect Beyonce and Lizzo for apologizing,” she said, speaking on ABC’s Q&A program on Thursday night.

“I think that’s a great move because I think we have definitely seen it before when celebrities do that whole ‘I’m going to double down, that’s not what I meant, you just took it the wrong way blah blah’ and both of these women who, it has to be said, occupy incredible spaces as marginalized people themselves, have shown everyone around the world how to be an effective ally.

“And that’s basically be open to learning, go ‘OK cool, I did something wrong, now I’m going to just fix it and we’re not going to make a huge fuss about it.’

“I just wish people who are really passionate about the fact Beyonce and Lizzo had to change the lyrics in their song would get that message,” Diviney continued.

“I actually debated or not whether to bring this up because I have a lot of people that I care about watching and people who care about me and they don’t quite know the level of trolling I’ve got this week.

“But I have had I have had people basically sending me photos of, or like GIFs of, people in wheelchairs being falling over and people in wheelchairs being pushed off cliffs … which is basically telling me to ‘shut up and go away.’”

Diviney said it would not stop her, vowing to continue calling out any use of the word.

“That particular word has been used against me before as an insult and is especially being used against me now,” she said.

“It’s being used against people I care about and it presumes a lack of intelligence or emotional control, which are not at all things that I want associated with me, things I want associated with my disability. They don’t reflect on my life at all.

“Trust me, if people had actually lived with spasticity I don’t think they’d be using that as an insult because it hurts.”

While Beyonce has not publicly addressed the backlash or lyrics, representatives for the singer told media the word was “not used intentionally in a harmful way” and would be replaced.

In June, Lizzo released a statement on Twitter apologizing for using the word.

“It’s been brought to my attention that there are [sic] is a harmful word in my song ‘GRRRLS’,” she wrote.

“Let me make one thing clear: I never want to promote derogatory language. As a fat black woman in America, I’ve had many hurtful words used against me so I understand the power words can have (whether intentionally or in my case, unintentionally).

“I’m proud to say there’s a new version of girls with a lyric change. This is the result of me listening and taking action,” she continued.

“As an influential artist I’m dedicated to being part of the challenge change I’ve been waiting to see in the world.”

The secret war between ‘Bluey’ and anime fans

Iconic Aussie children’s cartoon Bluey has been bombarded with negative reviews in a targeted attack to bring down the beloved program’s online ratings, Reddit users have speculated.

Online sleuths have identified what they say is a secret war raging between anime fans and the children’s series on movie and TV website IMDb.

At the end of last month, bluey‘s executive director, Daley Pearson, tweeted a screenshot of an IMDb page that showed a bluey episode — titled “Sleepytime”, for all you fans — ranked second on the list of best TV shows of all time with a star rating of 10 out of 10.

I don’t even have kids and I love blueyso I find no fault here — however, a Reddit theory suggests that anime fans did.

A mere three days after Pearson sent out the tweet, the bluey episode dropped down the list to 17th place. The number of people rating the show increased by 700 during this time, and the star rating stats show that there was a sudden uptake in one-star ratings, making it the second most popular rating for the show. Seeing as the most popular rating is 10 stars, it’s looking pretty suspect.

At the same time, a popular anime series rose up from nowhere to the top spots. why? It seems the trolls got to it.

A Reddit thread of bluey fans (yes, that is a thing that exists) suggests anime fans saw the tweet and started to review the show badly, while at the same time rating their favorite shows well, for the sole purpose of getting their own favorites higher in the rankings.

Reddit was quick to point out that trolling is really the sincerest form of flattery the internet can provide.

“It’s a badge of honor really,” wrote one user. “Anything starts to get haters once it gets enough elevation. The fact that it’s getting review bombed, the silly recent attacking articles – all just testament to how good this show is that’s it’s hit that level. And that it’s a kids show makes this all more amazing.”

Others have suggested that this could be the start of an all-out war between fans of a kids’ show and of anime.

“If it HAS to come to this, then I HOPE us in the bluey fandom can make a rebellion over the anime fans,” said one bluey supporter.

“This might be one of the worse things we’ve done, but we shall bring upon war. If you want to contribute to attacking the Anime fandom than comment on this post and leave poor reviews on Attack on Titan!”

“Welcome to why so many anime fandoms are so toxic,” said another.

Yet no one summed up the situation so neatly as this Reddit user and bluey fan: “The internet is such a weird place.”

The source said that in the months before Nicola and 23-year-old Brooklyn’s star-studded Miami wedding, the 27-year-old actress and her wealthy family – she is the daughter of billionaire Nelson Peltz – did not want Victoria “to be any part of the planning”. The source claimed that Nicola wouldn’t clue the former Spice Girl in on anything and “communication was minimal.”

Apparently, ever since the extravagant affair – which was held at the luxurious Peltz family estate – it’s been “non-stop petty drama” and the tension is coming between Beckhams and their son.

“They haven’t spoken to him much in the last few months,” said a source, adding that Brooklyn’s parents weren’t happy when on Instagram he posted a cover of Nicola gracing the cover of British magazine Tatler with the headline calling her ” The New Mrs. Beckham.”

Prior to the Page Six report, there was much speculation about the relationship between the Beckhams and the newly minted Peltz Beckhams. The Beckhams were always a tight-knit clan and they embraced Nicola into the fold when she and Brooklyn started dating in 2020.

The group posted sweet snaps of their vacations together and they were constantly gushing about each other and ‘liking’ each other’s social media posts.

But after the April nuptials, that all seemingly came to a halt.

Speculation monsoon emerged that the feud stems from the treatment the Beckhams allegedly received from the wealthy Peltz family before and during the wedding.

According to the Mirror, Victoria and David and their three other children – Romeo, Cruz and Harper – were not invited to sit at the top table at the reception. Instead, the seats were taken up by Nicola’s billionaire father Nelson, fashion model mother Claudia Peltz and her siblings de ella.

“The top table was all Peltz’s and it really felt as though the Beckhams were not at the forefront,” a source told the outlet.

“There was a feeling that the wedding was all about the Peltz family, as you can imagine, as it was their house and their daughter and their son making the speeches.”

Should I be content with my engagement? Suddenly I’m nervous | relationships

I am getting married soon to my partner of six years and all of a sudden I feel really nervous and unsure about it. I do love him but we started dating when we were very young and, although our thoughts and ideas align well as we have grown together, I still wonder if I could be better matched to someone else. I feel terrible for having these thoughts as I know he doesn’t. I know he will be an amazing husband and we can have a nice life together but I miss the passion of the early stages of a relationship.

A new co-worker has started at my workplace and we have had some flirtatious moments. It felt good to be seen in that way by someone else, however I wouldn’t dare take that further. But I get on really well with him and find myself wanting to talk to him all the time. I wonder if having conflicting thoughts like these is a bad sign. Shouldn’t I be completely content with my engagement and excited to marry someone I love?

Eleanor says: While “I do love him, but” isn’t ever quite what you want to say about your fiance, I think your question houses a subtle distinction. Does this discontent lie within the relationship itself, or in what the commitment represents? Is there anything wrong with your actuality – or are you simply grieving the loss of possibility?

That second kind of dissatisfaction, the loss of possibility, often envelops us in the lead-up to big commitments. Once we’ve settled on the big move, the career decision, the relationship milestone, a deflating sense of anticlimax can creep in. I think it’s because these moments mean our vision of how things might be starts to come into sharper resolution – we start to see how things really will be, and therefore, at the same time, what they won’t be. For every big choice we make we decline an alternative future. We say to ourselves that those doors are closed, and the versions of life that lie behind them will stay hushed and inanimate.

That can be hard to stomach. Especially for the choices that take us from youthful things to grown-up things, from freedom to responsibility; they can make us feel as though we’re running out of possibilities. Sometimes that’s why flirtations have such kerosene power in moments of life transition – before a marriage, in midlife. It’s not so much that we’re transfixed by that particular other person but that we’re transfixed by getting to see ourselves, briefly, the way they do – as an unknown, as someone who crackles with possibility.

It would be peculiar if you felt nothing like this as you approach your wedding. The whole point of getting married is that your life changes as a result. You promise to take another person’s wellbeing as seriously as your own. That’s a big decision about how your future looks (and how it doesn’t).

But, if you really love someone, what on the surface looks like a “loss of possibility” should in fact feel like the exact opposite. True, monogamous marriage means you turn down the possibility of a new relationship, or the thrill of chemistry with a stranger, but what you get instead is the vast breadth of future that opens up between people who want to make a life together.

When you really love each other, that seems expansive, not constraining. It makes you feel that there is more of you, and more of the world – more future; more possibility; more freedom – not less. This is one of the great mysteries of love and commitment – ​​how we could, by taking on responsibilities to each other, come to feel more like ourselves.

Sign up for the fun stuff with our rundown of must-reads, pop culture and tips for the weekend, every Saturday morning

If the alterations that marriage asks of you already seem unwelcome and constricting, that’s when I would want to pause. Your partner will not want a spouse who sees your union as a sacrifice – as something that robs you of the openness you long for.

You asked whether you should feel completely content and, while the answer to that is almost always no, it is important to distinguish between kinds of discontent. Losing any kind of possibility can leave a trail of melancholy. But if you can’t see the glow of different, exciting possibilities within your new commitment – ​​that’s when it might be time to wonder.

Duchess of York’s $8.7 million change of fortune

The Duchess of York is the new owner of a £5 million ($8.7 million) terrace in one of London’s best suburbs.

Sarah Ferguson – now a busy author – has purchased the property in Mayfair after a change of fortune.

The address is in the Grosvenor Estate and was owned by the Duke of Westminster, who is a close friend of the Royal Family and godfather to the future King, Prince George, according to The Sun.

The British newspaper confirmed the property, which was formerly apartments and is now a single luxury dwelling, has been transferred into Fergie’s name.

Her representatives confirmed the purchase to The Sun, which broke the story. No photos are available as it was not a publicly advertised listing.

A spokeswoman for the Duke of York, Fergie’s former husband, told The Sun he was not a party in the transaction.

Fergie and Prince Andrew, both 62, still live together in a house in Windsor – when she is based in the UK – which is owned by the Queen and on a long-term lease to Andrew.

Their 1996 divorce – they share daughters Eugenie and Beatrice – has been regarded as amicable. Given the house they occupy has 30 bedrooms, there is a comfortable amount of space.

Mayfair is the most upscale area of ​​London, with fine restaurants and swish real estate, and the border nudges Buckingham Palace.

Fergie told US media in 2010 that she was “continually on the verge of financial bankruptcy.”

However, she has signed major book deals in the last couple of years, including a contract for 22 titles with Australian publisher Serenity Press, and agreements with romance publisher Mills and Boon.

Prince Andrew is facing monumental legal costs after reaching a settlement over assault allegations brought in a civil suit by Virginia Giuffre.

The Duchess of Cambridge is inspiring our summer dressing for the second time this week, this time with the perfect seasonal suit.

The duchess wore her hair in her trademark glossy waves, and finished her look with sparkling Mappin & Webb jewellery.

Kate has always been an advocate for re-wearing and this outing was no different; she previously wore the pumps to the polo earlier this summer, while the Alexander McQueen suit made an appearance during her royal tour of Jamaica in March, and then again on Windrush Day in June.

It’s also not the first time we’ve seen that particular jewellery: she first wore the Mappin & Webb ‘Empress’ earrings and necklace at Princess Charlotte’s Christening – a fitting tribute for her daughter’s first solo public engagement with her parents.

Over the weekend the royal inspired our summer daywear wardrobes, in a nautical-inspired look for a visit to Sail Grand Prix in Plymouth.

Kate opted for a classic Breton striped top, worn with tailored white Holland Cooper shorts, gold hoops, and her favorite white Superga trainers. Her style de ella is a constant reminder of how relying on capsule classics and finding your own signature style is key to achieving a chic wardrobe.

It’s little wonder she opts to rewear pieces from her wardrobe so regularly: timeless classics never go out of style.

At Forrester Creations, Brooke updates Katie on the latest about Steffy and Finn by phone. She’s sure to point out that Bill did a good thing. As she disconnects, Hope walks in with Deacon. Brooke asks, “Deacon… what are you doing here?” Deacon explains that Hope asked her to come by. Hope wanted to show her dad de ella the new designs for Hope for the Future. She did not know her mother de ella was still there, and she had assured Deacon that Ridge is in Monaco. Deacon reflects on how happy Ridge and Taylor must be for Steffy and Finn. Brooke nods and sighs.

In Monaco, Kelly asks her mommy why she’s crying. Steffy explains they’re happy tears. The little girl is happy too. Taylor interjects that her heart is bursting from her and she snaps photos of the little family until Ridge suggests they give them some space. Taylor welcomes Finn home and Ridge says he’ll remember this moment forever. Steffy walks over to hug her parents de ella as they express their love.

In their suite, Taylor does a little happy dance of joy and Ridge deadpans, “I don’t even know what that is.” Taylor is overjoyed and they keep joking until Taylor shows him the photos of their daughter de ella with her family de ella… smiling again. Taylor decides she’ll post it so people can see that Finn is alive and Steffy and Finn are together again, “And our girl is okay.”

At Forrester, Deacon tells Hope her line is fantastic. She’s glad he likes it. Deacon wonders if his daughter’s ever thought about modeling as a full-time career. Brooke calls them over to see Taylor’s photo of Steffy and her de ella family and squeals, “They’re so happy you can feel it through the screen.” She muses, “Destiny 2.0 maybe?” Hope teases that title may be reserved for her and Liam.

In Monaco, Ridge notes that Taylor’s phone is blowing up. It’s all the likes and comments about Steffy and Finn. Ridge thinks the world should celebrate them for what they were put through. Taylor doesn’t want to think about Sheila, she’d rather focus on the good stuff. Ridge remarks that they went through something too, and Taylor recognizes that they’re always there for one another when it counts. Suddenly, she sees something on her phone and blurts, “Oh!” Ridge asks what she saw but she replies, “Nothing to see here.” Ridge isn’t buying it and asks what it is. Taylor claims it’s a random picture. He wants to see it. Taylor hands her phone over — it’s Hope’s selfie of her from Ella, Brooke and Deacon. Ridge grumps, “Well, that’s cozy.” He reflects that he asked her to stay away from that guy, and then he goes on a trip… “How about them apples?” Taylor takes him outside for some air.

Outside in Monte Carlo, Finn and Steffy canoodle. She marvels, “This doesn’t feel real.” She thought he was gone and never coming back. Coming back was all he thought about. She can’t stop staring at him — it feels like a dream. Finn assures her it’s real and then enthuses about the magic of Monaco. Steffy says, “It brought me you.” Finn agrees, “It will always be our special place.” Steffy shows her husband his ring from her; she carried it with her always because it made her feel close to him. Placing it back on his finger from him, something she never thought she’d be doing, she whispers, “My husband is back.”

Elsewhere, Taylor and Ridge stroll and she apologizes for the photo. He points out he would have seen in eventually. He wants to say he’s surprised but… He flies halfway across the world to help his grieving daughter de ella and she’s spending time with Deacon. Not wanting to focus on it, Ridge remarks on the beauty of Monaco. They reach an overlook and Ridge tells Taylor he’s been his rock from her. “I’ve never been so proud to have kids with you.” Taylor marvels that it’s been a whirlwind… it makes it seem like anything is possible. They embrace and then Ridge goes in for a sexy kiss. They make out as a helicopter drones past in the distance.

By the beach, Steffy can’t believe Finn is here or that he’s alive. Finn fought so hard for this moment. “Nothing and no one was going to keep me from you and my family.” He recalls how he would think of her when he was recovering and he promised himself — and her de ella — de ella that he would keep fighting. How painful it must have been for her, thinking he was dead all this time. Steffy nods. Their perfect little family was gone, like it never existed. She vows never to take him or their love for granted. “I didn’t really believe in miracles until today.” They express their love and share a deep kiss.

The Block quitters Elle and Joel ‘hang up’ on Fitzy & Wippa

The Block ‘quitters’ Elle Ferguson and Joel Patfull have remained dead silent amid questions about their exit from the renovation show after just 48 hours.

And in an attempt to finally hear their side of the story, Nova’s Ryan ‘Fitzy’ Fitzgerald and Michael ‘Wippa’ Wipfli cold-called the Sydney couple this week, but things didn’t quite go to plan.

The radio duo welcomed The Block host Scott Cam onto their show Thursday in the wake of his repeated public sprays at the Instagram influencer and retired AFL player, when Wippa told Cam they attempted to contact Elle and Joel the day before.

“We rang them yesterday, Scotty we can’t even play the audio because there isn’t anything to play,” Wippa said.

Fitzy further claimed, “Elle picked up the phone and said ‘This is Joel’s phone.’ And I said, ‘Hi Elle we’re looking for Joel, it’s Fitzy and Wippa here.’ And then Joel comes in and goes ‘Hi, how are you guys?’ And we introduced ourselves again and then bang, he was gone. I have hung up. He’s not a fan of [our] Show.”

Cam has been busy sledging the pair for throwing in the towel so quickly into filming, calling it “p*ss poor” and “unAustralian”, despite reports they left to care for Joel’s mother who’d suffered a Nasty fall in Adelaide.

Given the understandable circumstances, many have been wondering why Cam has hit out so passionately against them.

Speaking to news.com.au in the lead up to the Tree Change season premiere next week, the Channel 9 personality said his frustration stemmed from the couple upping sticks in the middle of the night with “no explanation.”

“They didn’t give us a reason why they were leaving. They never mentioned anything to us about visiting their sick mother,” Cam said.

“In fact, we flew them to Adelaide before The Block started for a week, and put them up in a hotel so they could see (Joel’s mother), and they came back and said ‘everything’s fine’.”

According to Cam, the cast and crew were stunned when Joel and Elle then disappeared.

“They never spoke to us, they just left in the middle of the night,” he said, adding: “I still don’t know why they left. They never mentioned their sick mother in the 48 hours before they left, or after they left. The executive producer spoke to them (after they left) and they didn’t mention their sick mother then either.”

Following up his comments on Fitz & WippaCam said the network would’ve “shut down production” to allow Elle and Joel to see their family.

“You know, come and talk to me and just tell me,” he said. “We would have sorted them out. Because a couple of years ago, Bec from Bec and George, great couple, contestants on The Block … Her mum passed away through the show and we shut the whole show down for a week.

“We brought them all back and we started again when she was ready, we would shut down for two weeks if she needed it.”

Cam revealed Elle and Joel did express some concerns with the executive producer just hours before fleeing, and that their sudden disappearance caused “chaos” on-set.

“We had a promo day that day. It was a Saturday morning, we had 50 or 60 people coming from Sydney. A whole crew with trucks and everything. And we’ve got two contestants missing,” he said.

“So we had to reshoot a lot of stuff, and it was really chaos.”

Elle and Joel are still yet to officially comment.
